AUTOPRO (AUTOMATIC POLK ROOM OPTIMIZER)
AutoPRO is an in room optimization system which measures (by means of a supplied microphone) the response peaks created                     polk
by standing waves (room modes) and flattens in-room response. AutoPRO preserves the dynamics and transient response of the
woofer system by optimizing the in-room time response of the system rather than simply equalizing the steady state response.
                                                                                                                                             technology
Polk’s unique method effectively eliminates boomy response problems while preserving dynamics and transient response for
bass performance that is tight, musical and punchy.
